“Plenty of names on the club’s radar” – Journalist claims Chelsea have drawn up a 5-man shortlist as they look to sign a new defender

Chelsea reportedly have a five-man shortlist ready as they look to bolster their centre-back options. The Blues are working on deals, but are currently focused on the FIFA Club World Cup.

Bobby Vincent was on football.london recently when he named Jorrel Hato as one of the key targets for Chelsea. He went on to name Murillo, Jarrad Branthwaite, Marc Guehi, and Tomas Araujo on the list, as they look to reshape the squad.

He said in a Q&A:

Former striker Tore Andre Flo spoke to AceOdds earlier this month and urged the Blues to re-sign Geuhi. He opined that the Crystal Palace captain and their former academy star was ideal for the squad, saying:

Newcastle United and Liverpool are also interested in Marc Guehi this summer.

Former player Shaun Wright-Phillips spoke to Betway earlier this month and opined that Chelsea were making a mistake by letting Kepa Arrizabalaga leave. He said the goalkeeper had done well at AFC Bournemouth and should be given another chance at Stamford Bridge.

He said (via TribalFootball):

Arsenal are set to sign Kepa Arrizabalga for a reported £5 million fee. He signed a one-year deal before leaving on loan last summer to protect his value and secure a transfer fee for the Blues.

Sripad

Sripad is a veteran Sportskeeda football journalist who has been with the company for around 10 years. His tryst with writing happened in class XI when he started penning blogs, and his foray into football was during the early 2000s, watching matches with his cousins.

Sripad has been a Chelsea fan through and through since the age of 9 and can watch their 2012 Champions League triumph on repeat. The undisputed ‘GOAT’ according to him is Lionel Messi and his favorite managers are Jose Mourinho and Sir Alex Ferguson. Apart from popular European leagues, he also likes to follow other leagues like the MLS, Saudi Pro League, Eredivisie, and Liga MX.

Sripad believes in only using the right sources for his articles, and is an expert in understanding how to get the right quotes for each news to provide proper background information. His exploits have led him to become a popular figure in European Football and interviewing Premier League legends such as Alan Shearer, Shay Given, Paul Dickov, and John Barnes. His articles have been much revered amongst the football fraternity and have been shared by the likes of John Terry, Gary Lineker, and Declan Rice.

If given a chance to change a football rule, Sripad wants VAR to be fully automated and offside rules to be less stringent. When not working, he likes to watch past Formula 1 races and play FIFA.
